But this past weekend trackdays, left me riding our 750 more when this thing left a nice bruise on the inside of my knees.
Because of the ridge on the tank?

The seat on these bikes is more of a squared off shape - on my gixxer the seat edges are very rounded but on the Aprilia it squares slightly so when hanging off that edge apparently dug into the back/side of his knee and bothered him.

and yeah he's had it almost 3 months now, it's about time to sell it for something else..

You and Skiergirl have it both right.

For some reason I hang off different than everyone else who has this bike, because I'm the only one who complains about that position. It's just weird to me and it rubbed my leg sore...

So if I can't be comfortable on it, I shouldn't be on the track with it.
